what water is called when not fresh and partly salty

Sagot :

Water that is not fresh and partly salty is called brackish or briny. This means that the water is saltier than bodies of fresh water, but not as salty as the ocean. This usually happens in estuaries, which are bodies of water that both flow into the ocean and receive fresh water from other streams, causing the two types of water to mix.
